Paint a Picture of Your Customer Service Experience

And here are some additional thoughts on this topic…

One of my favorite customer service books, Raving Fans, by Ken Blanchard and Sheldon Bowles talks about designing the experience you want your customers to have. In the book, they call it: Creating a vision of perfection centered on the customer. I call it painting a picture of your customer service experience. What you call it is not as important as actually doing it.

When we create a vision or paint a picture, we begin the process of change. The picture gives us something to move toward, a goal or objective. And it gives us something to talk about with our co-workers and customers. A vision can become a shared language as well as a tool to help you improve the service and experience you give your customers.

This week take time to describe the experience you want your customers to have when they do business with you. Make it as detailed or simple as you want. (It’s your vision!) Start by asking yourself what your customers want from you. Add to that what they complain about and what they praise and compliment you for. Use these to paint your picture of service that you can deliver to your customers.

Service Recovery

Are Your Customer Service Recoveries Really Recoveries?

Recently my wife picked up dinner for 4 on the way home from work. We had ordered online from Swiss Chalet (Canadian Rotisserie chicken franchise). Swiss Chalet is known for their dipping sauce, which is included with every signature meal.

When she arrived home, we discovered that the “special sauce” was not included in the order.

I called the order desk to report this lapse and the conversation went something like this.

Technology

Customer service and Twitter

The popular notion stating that if a customer receives poor service, he/she will tell nine other people, has been grossly out of date since the advent of the Internet. In reality, customers can electronically tell millions of people about their experiences. And now, with Twitter, people can tell others about their experiences as they happen.

Feedback

How to get amazing online reviews from your customers

More and more customers are going online before AND after they do business with a company. They’re getting smart about using online tools to make the best decision about who they do business with.

To thrive in this new world of connected customers you need to do more than ever to make sure your customers get the experience they want. If you do this well you can leverage the power of online feedback and reviews to grow your business. If you fail at this, the online chatter about your business can tarnish your reputation both online and off.
